           revised it.
           Please use Surname and Initial of Forename to refer to an author’s contribution. For example: made substantial contributions

           If an article is single-authored, please include “The author contributed solely to the article.” in this section.
           2.3.3.3 Availability of Data and Materials
           In order to maintain the integrity, transparency and reproducibility of research records, authors should include this section
           in their manuscripts, detailing where the data supporting their findings can be found. Data can be deposited into data
           repositories or published as supplementary information in the journal. Authors who cannot share their data should state
           that the data will not be shared and explain it. If a manuscript does not involve such issues, please state “Not applicable.”

           2.3.3.4 Financial Support and Sponsorship
           All sources of funding for the study reported should be declared. The role of the funding body in the experiment design,
           collection, analysis and interpretation of data, and writing of the manuscript should be declared. Any relevant grant numbers
           and the link of funder’s website should be provided if any. If the study is not involved with this issue, state “None.” in this

           Authors  must  declare  any  potential  conflicts  of  interest  that  may  be  perceived  as  inappropriately  influencing  the
           representation or interpretation of reported research results. If there are no conflicts of interest, please state “All authors
           declared that there are no conflicts of interest.” in this section. Some authors may be bound by confidentiality agreements.
           In such cases, in place of itemized disclosures, we will require authors to state “All authors declared that they are bound
           by confidentiality agreements that prevent them from disclosing their conflicts of interest in this work.”. If authors are
           unsure whether conflicts of interest exist, please refer to the “Conflicts of Interest” of Complex Engineering Systems (CES)
           Editorial Policies for a full explanation.

           2.3.3.6 Ethical Approval and Consent to Participate
           Research involving human subjects, human material or human data must be performed in accordance with the Declaration

           the ethics committee (including the reference number where appropriate) and the informed consent obtained must appear
           in the manuscripts reporting such research.
           Studies involving animals and cell lines must include a statement on ethical approval. More information is available at
